Mit Alkalimetallen reduzierte Lösungen von 2,2′-Dipyridyl liefern ein ESR-Signal, dessen Hyperfeinstruktur vom Reduktionsmittel abhängt. Bei Verwendung von Lithium beobachtet man das Spektrum des Ionenpaares (Li+, dip-), mit Kalium dagegen erhält man im wesentlichen das ESR-Spektrum des Anionradikals dip-. Seine Hyperfeinstruktur wird quantitativ interpretiert. Abweichungen zwischen den daraus entnommenen experimentellen Spindichten und theoretischen Spindichten, die mittels der HÜCKELschen Theorie erhalten wurden, deuten auf Grenzen in der Anwendbarkeit dieser Theorie.
Beiträge zur Erweiterung der Hückel'schen Theorie der π-Elektronensysteme [Pi-Elektronensysteme]
(1963)
Beiträge zur Erweiterung der Hückel'schen Theorie der Pi-Elektronensysteme Hückel entwickelte 1931 ein Verfahren zur quantenmechanischen Berechnung zahlreicher Eigenschaften von zr-Elektronensystemen. Obwohl die Theorie halbtheoretisch ist, hat sie einen wesentlichen Beitrag zum Verständnis solcher Eigenschaften von ungesättigten und aromatischen Verbindungen geliefert, die dem Grundzustand der Moleküle zugeschrieben werden können, so z. B. der Resonanzstabilität und der Reaktivität. Doch ist sie nur in der Lage, die Eigenschaften dieser Verbindungen richtig zu beschreiben, die durch angeregte Zustände der Moleküle mitbestimmt werden, wie z. B. die Spektren, wenn man für das Resononanzintegral einen entsprechenden Wert verwendet, der von dem für den Grundzustand benutzten bedeutend abweichen kan. Im ersten Abschnitt der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Hückel'schen Theorie der Pi-Elektronensysteme diskutiert. Einen nur annähernd vollständigen Überblick über die Beiträge zu dieser Theorie zu geben, würde den Rahmen der Arbeit überschreiten. Daher wurde sich im Wesentlichen darauf beschänkt, die Grundgedanken und die Näherungen des Verfahrens klar darzustellen und kritisch zu betrachten, sowie die Anwendungsmöglicheiten zu beschreiben. Hartmann hat 1960 eine Erweiterung der Hückel 'schen Theorie vorgeschlagen, die auch solche Eigenschaften ungesättigter und aromatischer Verbindunsen richtig erfaßt, die aur der Beteiligung angeregter Zustände beruhen, wie am Beispiel der Spektren gezeigt wurde. Im zweiten Teil dieser Arbeit wird die Hückel-Hartmann'sche Theorie der Pi-Elektronensysteme dargestellt und die Ergebnisse mit denen der Hückel'schen Theorie verglichen. Hartmann selbst hat die Erweiterung nur für gleichatomige Pi-Elektronensysteme und unter zahlreichen Vernachlässigunen durchgeführt. Dieser Umstand und die wenigen zu der Theorie erst vorliegenden Arbeiten ließen es wünschensert erscheinen, die Hückel-Hartmannsche Theorie der Pi-Elektronensysteme systematisch und in möglichst allgemeiner Form zu diskutieren. Im dritten Abschnitt der Arbeit wird daher eine Generalisierung der Hückel-Hartmannt'schen Theorie durchgeführt. Mit Hilfe des entwickelten Verfahrens wird anschließend der Einfluß der Überlappungen auf die Ergebnisse untersucht und eine Erweiterung der Hückel-Hartmann'schen Theorie auf heteroatomare Pi-Elektronensysteme angegeben.
In order to determine the influence of OH and O2H-radicals on proteins, bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous solution was treated with Fenton’s reagent [Fe(II)SO4+EDTA+H2O2] and with ultraviolet light (λ > 2800 Å) in the presence of H2O2. The action of free radicals produced in this way did not change the properties of the native protein with respect to the sedimentation in the ultracentrifuge or optical rotatory dispersion and electrophoresis under normal conditions. Ampèrometric titration indicated partial oxidation of SH-groups and of 3—5 SS-groups which are not reducible by NaBH4.
Heat aggregation investigated by means of light-scattering was suppressed at pH 7.5 and strongly accelerated at pH 4.6 (range of coagulation), the latter being a result of increased entropy of activation of coagulation velocity.
The difference spectrum against native BSA had positive values of Δε and two maxima at 2480 and 2950 Å.
Ultracentrifugation at room temperature in phosphate buffer (pH 7.3, μ=0.18) furnishes a molecular weight of 63 300. In a solution of 8 M urea and borate buffer (pH 9, μ=0.05) fragments with molecular weights between 25 000 and 37 000 were observed while in phosphate buffer (pH 7.3, without urea) at temperatures higher than 46 °C an anomalous behaviour of the concentration gradient indicated an effect which possibly depends on a dissociation equilibrium.
As a consequence oxygen radicals seem to attack not only SH- and SS-groups but at least one covalent bond of the peptide chain. Some experiments of heat aggregation with BSA treated with γ-rays (60Co) gave the same results as BSA treated with Fenton’s reagent or UV-light+H2O2.
Für eine Gruppe von Di- und Tripeptiden wurden die Geschwindigkeitskonstanten sowie die Arrhenius schen Aktivierungsenergien und Aktionskonstanten der sauren Hydrolyse der einzelnen Peptidbindungen gemessen. Zeitgesetz und Abstufungen der Aktivierungsenergien lassen sich nur unter bestimmten Annahmen über die Solvatation der Reaktionsteilnehmer auf der Grundlage des Ingold- Benderschen Mechanismus interpretieren. Aktionskonstante und Aktivierungsenergien weisen einen symbaten Gang auf.
The results of spectroscopic and paramagnetic resonance investigations show that the previously prepared substance with the empirical composition [VIdip3] J · ½ py is most presumably a mixed crystal of two similar compounds of bivalent and zero-valent vanadium. The ion [VIdip3] + exists only in solution and gives no paramagnetic resonance signal, which is understood on account of a low-lying singlet ground state.
Die Winkelabhängigkeit des ZEEMAN-Effektes der Kernquadrupolresonanzen (35Cl) eines Einkristalls von ortho-Dichlorbenzol wurde bei — 35°C vermessen. Das Kristallsystem ist monoklin. Die z-Achsen der Feldgradiententensoren im Molekül bilden einen Winkel von (64,7 ±0,5)°. Der Asymmetrieparameter des Feldgradienten hat einen Wert von 0,100 ± 0,01. Die Winkelmeßeinrichtung wird beschrieben.
Nach Kultivierung von Enterococcus Stei mit 14C-markiertem 5-Chlor-, 5-Brom- oder 5-Jod-Uracil wurde aus den Zellen die DNS isoliert und hoch gereinigt. Durch UV-Bestrahlung dieser DNS in wäßriger Lösung werden die eingebauten 5-Halogen-Uracile photochemisch verändert. Beim Abbau dieser bestrahlten DNS findet man neben geringen Mengen nicht-identifizierter Photoprodukte als überwiegendes Strahlenprodukt nach Hydrolyse mit Perchlorsäure Uracil und nach fermentativem Abbau Uracildesoxyribosid. Die Dehalogenierung von BU und JU in der DNS verläuft in Abhängigkeit von der Bestrahlungsstärke etwa gleich schnell, während CU sehr viel langsamer dehalogeniert wird.
Die photochemische Dehalogenierung des BU erfolgt in der nativen DNS am leichtesten, weniger gut in der Hitze-denaturierten DNS und nur in geringem Maße in der Apurinsäure.
1- (2̸.3′.4′-O-Triacetyl-1.β-D-glucopyranosyl) 3-carboxamido-pyridiniumchlorid wird aus α-1-Chlor-2.3.4-O-triacetyl-glucopyranose und Nikotinamid hergestellt. Die freie Hydroxylgruppe in 6-Stellung der Glucose wird mit Phosphoroxychlorid verestert. Durch Acylwanderung entsteht außerdem ein isomeres Produkt. Die Acetylgruppen lassen sich sauer verseifen. Durch Kondensation mit Adenosinmonophosphat erhält man ein Gemisch beider Nikotinamidglucosid-Adenin-Dinucleotid-Isomerer. Die Verbindungen sind trotz hoher Affinität zu nucleophilen Agentien auf Grund der sterischen Konfiguration enzymatisch inaktiv.
A study on the effect of UV-irradiated polyuridylic acid on the incorporation of phenylalanine into the polypeptide precipitable through trichloroacetic acid, in a cell-free system from E. coli was made. Attempts were made to reactivate the UV-inactivated polyuridylic acid through hydrogen peroxide, uranyl acetate and visible light. We could show that polyuridylic acid irradiated at a dose of 1.2 ×105 ergs/mm2 could be completely reactivated, while the one irradiated at a higher dose of 2.4 ×105 ergs/mm2 could not be completely reactivated under the conditions of our experiment. We have studied the effects of hydrogen peroxide and uranyl acetate on UV-irradiated polyuridylic acid chemically as well. Our results altogether show that the photoreactivating effect of uranyl acetate and hydrogen peroxide is due to their ability to split the uracil dimers formed during UV-irradiation.
The carcinogenic hydrocarbon 3.4-benzopyrene is soluble in aqueous solutions of different proteins. The solubilities are easily determined by the fluorimetric method. The fluorescence o. the hydrocarbon in the protein solutions is not quenched by molecular oxygen. Nevertheless only in presence of air (oxygen) an irreversible decrease of the fluorescence intensity occurs under irradiation with UV-light of wavelength 366 mμ, which is considerably faster than under nitrogen or in solutions of the hydrocarbon in ethanol or aqueous caffeine.
In the systems investigad, a correlation was found between the half-life period of the reaction and the SH-group activities. The participation of protein-SH-Groups in the 3.4-benzopyrene photoreaction is demonstrated by ampèrometric Ag⊕-titrations.
The influence of protein denaturation and inhibiting additives on the photoreaction are investigated by the fluorimetric method.
Irradiation- and oxygen-dependence of the reaction are analogous to the observations of photodynamic action and skin cancer induction by 3.4-benzopyrene.
By 366 mµ irradiation of β-lactoglobuline solutions containing 3.4-benzopyrene the heatdenaturation characteristics of the protein are changed. The same changes are produced without 3.4-benzopyrene by UV-light of the wavelength 280 mµ. Treatment of the β-lactoglobuline solutions with an amount of cigarette smoke, which certainly does not contain 3.4-benzopyrene in sufficient concentration, acts in the same direction.
Along with the changes in the protein properties the typical fluorescence of 3.4-benzopyrene vanishes. The hydrocarbon does not act as a catalyst in photodynamic action, but is chemically altered as well as the protein, at least in the system under investigation.
The kinetic data of the hydrolysis of some serine peptides in diluted hydrochloric acid and in pure water and of the rearrangement of O-glycyl-DL-serine to glycyl-DL-serine were determined.
The hydrolysis of glycyl-DL-serine and DL-alanyl-DL-serine proceeds surprisingly rapidly in pure water as compared with the hydrolysis of those peptides in 0.5 N hydrochloric acid as well as the hydrolysis of glycyl-DL-alanine in purely aqueous solution. The O → N migration of the glycyl residue in O-glycyl-DL-serine which probably is an intermediate in the cleavage of glycyl-DL-serine in purely aqueous solution represents a three center reaction in which the nucleophilic attack on the O-peptide and peptide bond, respectively, involves a free basic amino group. The analogy between the serine peptide interconversion and the hydrolysis catalyzed by certain proteolytic enzymes is referred to.
Under the conditions of freeze drying are formed in hydrochloric acid solutions of DL-alanyl-DL-serine O-peptide and depsipeptide.
Diluted aqueous solutions of some proteins (bovine serum albumin, β-Lactoglobubin, Peroxidase) show weak phosphorescence lasting over several minutes after they have been irradiated with light in the range 3500-4200 A. Addition of Eosin after the irradiation amplifies in some cases the intensity of luminescence to a value of about hundred. If Eosin is present at the irradiation process the excitation to phosphorescence is possible with light of the wavelength 5460 A.
After denaturation processes which destroy the configuration of proteins (Urea, Guanidine-HCI. detergents, heat at higher pH) the ability of phosphorescence disappears altogether; likewise after blocking the SH-groups by benzochinone or a total oxidation or reduction of the SS-groups which causes an complete unfolding of the peptide chain.
In solutions of bovine serum-albumin irradiated with 3650 Å at room temperature and afterwards frozen to -178°C no radicals could be observed by measurements of electron-spin-resonance but they were detectable if the irradiation took place in the presence of H2O2.
The reactions Xanthinoxidase-Xanthine-O2, Peroxidase-H2O2 and bovine serum-albumin-H2O2-Fe (II) EDTA are accompanied by chemiluminescence. By comparison with the behaviour of oxidised serum-albumin it could be shown that the chemical reaction produces an excited state of the native protein.
The observations lead to the conclusion that the weak phosphorescence of long duration originates from a triplet-state which is sufficiently populated only as the consequence of cooperative phenomena attending the undisturbed α-Helix-structure of the protein.
In order to determine the intermolecular forces in the process of the heat aggregation of globular proteins in solution, selected proteins with different amounts of disulfide- and thiolgroups were investigated by specific inhibition experiments and by degradation analysis, using lightscattering and ultracentrifugation methods.
In accordance with the mechanism of the heat aggregation, which in general (SH —SS-proteins) may be characterized as a coupled coagulation- and exchange-reaction, auxiliary valences and covalent bonds take part in the aggregation process.
Besides the pʜ-range of lanthionine-formation, the coagulation-mechanism by weak intermolecular forces exceeds the covalent type of aggregation.
If only one of the sulphur functional groups is present in the protein molecules the aggregation is merely the result of the coagulation-mechanism, i. e. the degradation by urea, guanidine·HCl, variation of pʜ etc. leads back to the monomer.
In the case of SH —SS-proteins the degradation rate depends on the temperature and duration of aggregation: In the range of predenaturation and under isoelectric conditions the native monomer is restored while increasing net charge leads more and more to covalently bound aggregates which are due to disulfide- and lanthionine-groups. High alkalinity promotes the formation of lanthionine.
Regarding the weak intermolecular bonds the application of specific criteria in degradation and inhibition experiments proves that Η-bonds and hydrophobic interactions participate in the aggregation process while ion pair bonds may be excluded. The hydrophobic interactions do not become apparent, until partial denaturation of the aggregating protein takes place.
The proportion of the total aggregation at extreme pʜ-values which is produced by the coagulation mechanism may be explained in a tentative way by assuming specific electrostatic short range interactions between the partially dehydrated molecules, leading to fibrillar associates.
Steroid initiated enzyme induction (Δ5-Ketosteroid-Isomerase, 3α-Hydroxysteroid-Dehydrogenase, and 3β.17β-Hydroxysteroid-Dehydrogenase) in Pseudomonas testosteroni was investigated with respect to the kinetics of induction, operon control of the induced enzymes, and the relative strengths of various inducers. The induction process was followed indirectly by selective inhibition of different stages in the protein synthetic pathway. Comparisons between bacterial and mammalian steroid induction are discussed.
Glycol causes a denaturation of the DNA double helix structure in solution. As could be shown earlier, heat denaturation of DNA leads to an increased dimerization of thymine following uvirradiation. In contrast to this, thymine dimer is not increased - but is even slightly decreased - when DNA is uv-irradiated in the presence of glycol. These results are discussed with regard to the distortion of the hydration layer and the hydrophobic stacking of bases, as influenced by glycol.
